Nice! Sounds like you guys got all of the recent setlist gems all in one show. I believe someone said once that "the second night's always better than the first." Quite a couple of nights, eh Froggie? Glad that Melbourne got in on the fun...

Doubtful, I'm afraid. Then again, if Batgirl makes an appearance...

Yeah, why not? Of course, give a holler if you ever make it to this side of the planet. And I'll do the same if I ever get back your way...

How was Liam? EJ was with him, I assume. New songs?

I'll be hanging out with Batgirl backstage. [insert pawing noise here]

Admirable setlist-keeping, Clint! (Can I call you Clint, though we've never met? Don't want to assume a first-name basis or anything. ) Glad you guys got a good show. The general admission standing shows are always better, aren't they? I mean, I had a fun time the last show in Welly (and will always hold a special memory of that show since I think that was where Wilco's involvement with the Finns and 7 Worlds Collide originated), but it was a pretty formal room. Jeff didn't say anything about the quality of the crowd's dancing, did he? And you've got to track down some Big Star! Such gre

Someone do it, please! It doesn't require that much methodical-ness (methodicism?). I'd love to be in Welly again, but it's not going to happen this time so it'd be great to get a report... And have fun, all you Kiwis!

I wish! I really, really would love to visit Japan someday, but not this time unfortunately. As fun as the Wilco gigs would have been to see, I'd love to know if anybody on here made it to any of the Bacharach tribute shows with Jim O and Glenn and Darin and/or the "night of duos" that Nels played with his Fig (or is it Kitchen Stadium) side project with Yuka Honda? Would love to hear a report from any of those shows...

Hopefully they set up a drum kit and Fred joins Jeff on drums for a few numbers (either as or not, though preferably the former).

Nels is scheduled to join On Fillmore in Chicago as part of a free show at Milennium Park on June 28. It's billed as On Fillmore featuring Nels Cline, so I guess that wouldn't be a Singers gig. But anyway... And congrats to Nels, Scott and Devin on the official release today! I was at the shows in SF they recorded at Café du Nord last fall for the live disc of Initiate and they were awesome, so it's nice to have a document of that. Hooray for "Boogie Woogie Waltz" with Deerhoof!

Yep, you got it! So great that you were able to make it out for this show! I had a blast up front with you and B, despite the craning of necks. Sorry I was such bad company for most of the day (and that goes out to H&R from EC, MD as well). And ah, Wilco Tango Foxtrot: You were very hoppy.

Glad you had a good time, but you must have smoked some seriously high-quality product if you thought they actually gave away a dinette set. "The Price Is Right" theme was played, but to my knowledge, Wilco shows haven't turned into game shows yet. (I believe that a couple of the dinners they gave away were for a place called Dinette. ) Nice to get a couple of nuggets, as always. Can't remember the last time I'd heard "On and On and On," and it's definitely a song that's more powerful in the live setting. Being able to hear the details in "More Like The Moon" and the segue from "Someday, Som

I'm sure the kindly mods will take care of merging threads, but you know my thing about titling show threads so I'm putting the complete setlist, as played, for Pittsburgh here. Anyway, here was how tonight's final (for now, anyway) "An Evening With..." show went down: —"The Price Is Right" theme music intro— Wilco (the song) Bull Black Nova You Are My Face IATTBYH> One Wing A Shot in the Arm On and On and On Company In My Back Deeper Down Handshake Drugs California Stars Impossible Germany I'll Fight Poor Places> ----into acoustic set---- Spiders (Kidsmoke) More Like The Moon So

Excellent work! As some friends of mine who used to be/are big Crowded House fans like to joke about as it relates to Neil Finn, we always need the "hair and pants" report (except in Jeff's case, I suppose it would be shoes and guitars)!

Well, as they say, you can't make them all (do they say that? ) Sorry to disappoint the masses -- like four of you -- but I couldn't make it up to Hartford so I'm no help tonight setlist-wise. Glad to hear that they did Magazine for Nate's birthday, though! And That's Not The Issue...maybe they were just getting it in shape for you, B. I shall be back in form for Philly and Pittsburgh, so I'll help out from there if need be. You can resume hanging on tight then, if so inclined. Till then, I'll be waiting for the Hartford setlist like everyone else. (Your effort looks pretty good, though,

Watch this thread jump to about 20 pages in the next 20 minutes with "Got mine!" posts...

It probably has to do with the fact that the core of Wilco's management team is now based in western Massachusetts as well as Mass Moca being a cool location (especially for a summertime thing). LA has more going for it as it relates to Wilco than you think, but honestly, who would want to go there in August? OK, I can think of several people. But for an outdoor festival?

Wah wah... As for the mystery guitar, I think he used to use a similar one on "Hell Is Chrome" (one that I dubbed the "King of Thailand" guitar because the big silver sticker or whatever it is features -- I'm serious -- the King of Thailand) but I don't think the one he used last night was that one. I could be wrong, of course; I wasn't close enough to get a detailed look at it. Also forgot to mention my favorite bit of banter from last night. It came during the dinner giveaways -- incidentally, this was the first giveaway I've seen that didn't involve a restaurant, I think two of the thr

A few random observations then... Kind of a weird crowd, I thought. It seemed like, for whatever reason, the air went out of the proverbial sails somewhere around "Jesus, etc." The crowd singalong was pretty weak and Jeff went back on mike quicker than I've seen in a while (i.e. even before the "Voices whine..." verse). The song also provided a couple of awkward moments when a drunk woman apparently mistook Jeff's encouragement to sing along as an indication that she should come right up to the stage -- she probably would have tried to get on the stage if Jeff hadn't sort of waved her off

I never know if it's just overkill to start an "After The Show" thread on a show that's been webcast since pretty much everybody who cares already listened to it. But in the interest of title conventions, if nothing else, here was the complete setlist as played for Concord (or is it Con-curd? Cahn-cud? ): "The Price Is Right" theme music intro— Wilco (the song) IATTBYH Ashes of American Flags Bull Black Nova You Are My Face One Wing A Shot in the Arm At Least That's What You Said Radio Cure Handshake Drugs Impossible Germany I'll Fight California Stars Poor Places> ----into acoustic set--

Dare I ask the obvious: Hey Lou(ieB), I had NO idea you had a fest (especially one with such a good lineup!) Can I get a free ticket?

Not a bad review, I guess. To nitpick the last few paragraphs, though, I assume he just accidentally left out the "Drummer" in "Heavy Metal Drummer," and it should have been "Outtasite (Outta Mind)" of course. And it's not really accurate to say they "concluded last night's show" with "Thank You Friends."

Since this seems to have turned into the Jeff footwear thread, I figured I'd mention that he wasn't wearing the white Kenneth Coles last night in Boston. He was back to brown oxfords, at least for one night.

The possibilities of who else could be involved in this are certainly tantalizing. Just to throw out one -- and I haven't checked their schedule or anything -- but Thurston and Kim don't live too far away. And obviously this is pure and complete speculation on my part, but Sean Lennon was just at one of the recent Montclair shows. I could see his The Ghost Of A Saber Toothed Tiger project fitting into this shindig as well.

Thanks for coming over to the side of consistent thread titles! Re: your comment about photos, there were a couple of guys near me taking pictures -- and possibly videos -- with their phones. (Some nerve to do it right by the stage, right? I guess Jeff must not have seen them, or at least he didn't call them out or point at them). I think one of them got escorted out. In several other cases, a security guard shined a flashlight on them until they got the picture. So some security guards seemed to be pretty vigilant, or at least as much as possible. (I just realized I made a totally unint
